Today my group and I met up at 10am at building 9 just to catch up and give each other feedback. We talk a lot on Facebook, but face-to-face is always a little better. Since handing over the Video Essay project editing to Mia for the second half of it, I’ve been focusing on compiling sources for her. She showed us how it was going and it’s nearly up to 3 minutes – a solid effort, but we’re cutting it pretty fine. I think we’re doing well considering the circumstances, all three of us have been sick on and off throughout this whole project and that delayed a lot of work. We’re pretty happy with the results of recording the Audio essay last week and Bronte’s done a really good job of editing down that 30-minute content into a bite size, consumable package. We had a little talk about the direction we want to take with the video essay, for example we had a look at some beauty pageant videos and make up industry statistics – all things that contribute to the mass production and consumption of beauty. I’ve now got the task of doing some screen recordings of myself interacting with different media to give to Mia for it. Once I’ve done that I guess all there’s left is to assist her with the editing on Thursday when we next meet up and write my reflection!
